About the Role

We are seeking a Senior AWS Solutions Architect to design, evolve, and strengthen complex, large-scale cloud-native platforms. This senior technical role requires deep AWS and Kubernetes expertise, combined with strong customer-facing capabilities, to identify technical weaknesses, define solutions, and drive improvements from architecture to implementation.

Responsibilities

• Design and evolve scalable, resilient, and secure cloud architectures primarily on AWS.
• Provide architectural direction for cloud-native platforms and distributed systems running in production.
• Assess existing environments, identify architectural or operational weaknesses, and define pragmatic improvements.
• Design and review Kubernetes-based architectures, including networking, scaling, availability, security, and workload management.
• Translate business and customer requirements into robust technical solutions.
• Lead and contribute to technical discussions with customers, including architecture reviews, solution design sessions, and complex technical escalations.
• Clearly communicate technical problems, trade-offs, risks, and proposed solutions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Work closely with Cloud, Platform, SRE, and Software Engineering teams to ensure architectural decisions are implemented effectively.
• Provide technical guidance during complex production issues and help teams make informed decisions under pressure.
• Define and promote best practices around reliability, scalability, security, observability, and cloud operations.
• Contribute to infrastructure automation and Infrastructure as Code strategies.
• Review existing technical approaches and challenge them constructively when better solutions are available.
• Support engineering teams in moving architectural concepts through implementation and into production.
• Help raise technical standards across the wider engineering organization through knowledge sharing, mentoring, and architectural guidance.

Requirements

• Extensive professional experience designing and operating solutions on AWS.
• Strong hands-on understanding of Kubernetes in production environments.
• Proven experience designing cloud-native, highly available, and scalable architectures.
• Strong understanding of distributed systems, networking, security, and production infrastructure.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code and cloud automation, ideally using Terraform or equivalent technologies.
• Good understanding of CI/CD, observability, monitoring, and modern cloud engineering practices.
• Ability to assess an existing environment, identify weaknesses, and propose technically sound improvements.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving capabilities across complex production systems.
• Proven customer-facing experience, with the ability to lead technical discussions directly with customers and senior stakeholders.
• Ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly and confidently, including architecture decisions, trade-offs, and risks.
• Comfortable taking ownership and making technical recommendations rather than relying on continuous escalation.
• Strong collaboration skills and experience working across Cloud, Platform, SRE, and Software Engineering functions.
• Professional fluency in English (C1+).
